MOA radio - maybe gt3c? 3pl?

[Turtlejon]

I'm just about to buy an MOA crawler with dual escs and the gt3c really seems to be an affordable option. Overkill has been out fof stock or over a month, and the hack kit is back ordered. I don't mind doing the work myself, but I'd really like to get rolling ASAP. Can I at least go from 4wd to front wheel drive without the mod? Is it tricky to program? If not, can I mix throttle on to ch3, to at least be able to drive? Does anyone in the Dallas area do the mod?
Also I have a futaba 3pl on hand, is there any way to set it up to work? I looked through the manual but it didn't specifically say it could, maybe someone knows a workaround? Even if it just goes from 4 to front wheel drive, that would at least get me rolling.
I have never had a dig or MOA setup so please excuse my lack of knowledge, and thank you for yours!
Thanks!

Read the sticky's and threads in the elec section from a pc, they r listed at the top when viewed on a computer or web browser. Search YouTube.
I really like the Futaba 3pmx, 4ws or dig built in and same programming basics as a 4pk
I can't get the dig on a 4pl on the lower thumb switch to work like on a 4pk otherwise it would be great. I don't have one good exp from altering stock software to use in a way it wasn't specifically designed, but maybe the hacked gt3 is better about it??

I'm a gt3c/ gt3b fan. I have a hacked gt3b and have had it for quite a bit of years. Run on all my scalers and my moa. An do virtually anything. And at the cost of the radio before the hack and parts..... I can break it every other month , swap my parts to a new one and still be on top, lol. Oh and then can't beat up to 8 ch on pistol radio

Thanks !
I read all of the stickies up there, and none addressed any of these questions. I may be missing something, feel free to post a link!
I totally believe that the hacked gt3 will be fine, I'm wondering about using it or the 3pl I own until the back ordered hack kit arrives, even in a marginal way.

Hacked gt3b or c , up to 8 channels of full adjustability, i have a 2.2 moa, front and rear proportional dig, i have two supers with rear steer as well and the flysky works great imho.

"I can't get the dig on a 4pl on the lower thumb switch to work like on a 4pk otherwise it would be great."

You can assign the function of the switches on the 4pl. Check out the 'Set up Tips and Tricks' thread on the 4pl. I run the dig on my LCCs with DT3 or DT4. Gotta set up the switch to function like a 3 position first.

Not wanting it on the 3 position switches, I want it on the lowest thumb button as the rear esc on/off. The only way to have the dig there that I can get to function is alt f/r and I think momentary, been 1yr since. I've programmed 2 previous futaba's, 3pmx and 4pks but the 4pl just don't wanna do it. Been thru all the programming threads when I was struggling with it, and still couldn't :(.
Thanks a lot! Now you have given me the bug to go butt heads with it again . See if my stubbornness wins this time.

Anyone know offhand what the resolution is on the trigger for the flysky remotes? As I recall my 4pks is 1020, the one flysky I've used with a loaner crawler was no throttle at one point, 1/4 throttle the next which didn't mesh with my crawling well. Can't argue the price points, I like cheap. But function always wins over cheap for me.

Kits are a backorderable item because I've been too busy to ship next day. I normally ship kits 1-2 times a week

The Flysky GT3B/C has a 10-bit A/D encoder...so it has a 1024 resolution (The throttle and steering has 1024 different positions in can be in).

You must of been experiencing setup/calibration errors.

Thanks! The kit actually only took a few days to get in the mail, so thanks!! It may actually arrive before the truck now!!
